IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTERS GALLEYS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,677, dated May 25,1875; application filed March 20, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HENRY H. McWrLLIAMs, of Lombard Mills, Sacramento, inthe county of Sacramento and State of California, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Printers Galleys, of which the following is aspecification This invention relates to improvements in proof galleysused by printers for holding their type after the same have been set up;and it consists in the construction of the same, as hereinafterdescribed.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a galleyconstructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 shows one of the slidesand eccentric and levers detached. Fig. 3 is a view showing the folds OF in crosssection.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This galley consists of two plates, which, by means of slots in one andstuds in the other, are made to slide one on the other.

A is the bed-plate, and B the slotted movable plate, which slides on thebed-plate. On the bed-plate is a raised bar, 0, made by'folding over theouter edge to form an angle of forty-five degrees, more or less, andthen turning it down at right angles with the plate, and then turningthe edge under and soldering it. The same hollow bar is turned in thesame manner across the end of the plate, as seen at E, the flap 0 beingsoldered over it. On the inner edge of the plate B is a square hollowbar, F, made by turning over the edge, so that this square bar and thetriangular bar on the other plate are of the same height, and form achannel in which the type are contained and held. This bar F is moved onthe plate A, and the channel increased or diminished in width by meansof the slides G G and eccentric and levers. These slides are held to theside of the bar and made movable thereon by means of slots I I and thescrews or pins J J. The eccentrics bear upon the projections K K, theouter edges L L of which are cut away to form inclined surfaces. M M arethe eccentrics, which work on studs in the plate A. H H are the lovers.0 O are screw-nuts on the studs to keep the eccentrics in place. Prepresents the types in the galley, which are held in place by means ofthe eccentrics.

By means of these eccentrics the plate B is moved up, and the bar Fismade to compress the type, and to hold the type or stereotypeplate inplace.

' Having thus described my invent-ion,I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. The plate A, having triangular side fold (Jand end fold E, combined with a slotted plate, B, having quadrangularfold F on the inner side, and adjustable transversely, as and for thepurpose specified.

2. The slotted slides G G and eccentrics M M, in combination with themovable plate B and bar'F, for the purpose described.
